Life Coaching And The Concept of Positive Thinking

Nowadays, the media, friends or relatives are telling you to think positive thoughts; and there are times when you can find that happy place by thinking quite the opposite… And it can be good for you too!

Life is a balance, it is not all of one thing or another; if there is positive then there is negative too, if there are up moments then there are down moments too.

Just like a magnet has a north and south end through which there is a magnetic force, when our two ends are in balance, we are most stable, and in our greatest strength.

Therefore in life we need to recognise and accept that all thoughts are relevant, both positive and negative; for balance to exist we will sometimes think positive thoughts and sometimes negative ones.  Because we are balanced beings, naturally we will be drawn to balance in our thoughts, actions and behaviours.

As a life coach I show my clients that this balance is natural, and by understanding that every situation has it’s direct opposite, my clients can manage the differing states they experience in their lives with greater ease.  This takes away the fear and pressure of “having to always think positive” which is totally unrealistic!
